Logons

Artemis supports extracting Logon entries from the macOS Unified Log.

Collection​

You have to use the artemis api in order to collect Logon entries.

Sample API Script​

import { FileError } from "./artemis-api/src/filesystem/errors";
import { glob } from "./artemis-api/src/filesystem/files";
import { logonsMacos } from "./artemis-api/src/macos/unifiedlogs/logons";

function main() {
  const logs = glob("/var/db/diagnostics/Special/*");
  if (logs instanceof FileError) {
    return;
  }
  let values = [];

  for (const entry of logs) {
    const data = logonsMacos(entry.full_path);
    values = values.concat(data);
  }
  console.log(values);
}

main();
